I agree with everthing you said. I would add that the hardest part of software engineering isn’t writing code-it’s understanding what actually needs to be built. AI can already generate (bad) code, help refactor, and optimise prototyping, but it’s nowhere near being able to interpret real-world requirements, balance stakeholder needs, or resolve conflicting priorities. Engineering is about people-communicating, collaborating, and making trade-offs. Code is just the tool we use to get there.
Hi, I've been listening to Coffeezilla and some of the gurus that he was talking about. I'm glad that I joined your membership instead. I understand that you're not as popular as last time and that I haven't been attending the monthly meetings but some of what you said in the lessons helped me a lot. And I think you're sincerely putting effort in this instead of doing some sort of dodgy stuff, I haven't regretted my purchase as yet. That's all I want to say.
I’m a programmer and I’ve built numerous apps in the last few months that are at the very least written 90% by AI. I just say what tech stack I want and what I want it to do and it builds out things for me in minutes that would take weeks otherwise. After that you just tweak it and slowly add things it missed or you think you need.
There it is a big difference between writing a small app with an AI than building enterprise software. Your comment while it is not false it is also misleading, AI is not yet close to even write a fully new small feature in a grade enterprise software. I love AI use it all the time, but at least today it is really faraway to replace professional developers.
I’ve done the same thing and it’s a huge pain in the ass. AI gives a ton of bloated unoptimized code and flawed logic for very specific edge cases. You actually need to know wtf you’re doing otherwise the results are going to be absolutely shit. You still need to debug and ai won’t just auto debug because there’s so many levels of abstraction and different types of diagnostics you need to do for problems. But coding with AI is still better than doing it myself because I can cut months of coding and debugging into days worth of work so I can add more output to it. But it’s still far from auto coding and still decades away from replacing programmers
@ it’s not though. 4 years ago it wasn’t doing much at all. Not sure what makes you think it’s going to take decades other than denial or some unforeseen bottleneck.
@ another thing. Almost every expert in the field of AI that was skeptical about the hype say 10 years ago is saying the exact opposite of what you are saying now.
@@Hustada all these just confirm that you have barely experience with real grade enterprise software, the lack of understanding that AI is actually a new abstraction on our current stack, but you still need a operator seating next to it and giving instruction. Is not possible now that any person can get the result they want to without having the knowledge about what to asked for in this case coding. No body is denying about the great enhancer that AI it is. Just seems you lack of understanding of the entire complexity of critical operation software. a shitty developer without AI, is a shitty developer with AI that hasnt change, and of course the opposite it is as well true.
It's not been an issue for me. I've worked as software dev for Wireless Telco Carriers, offers from Microsoft and Facebook and startups. But I'm sure some employers do require degrees.
Just the stupid ones. People who really know this stuff like to see a portfolio with great apps and no title instead of a guy with a title and silly to-do list app
Yes, please quit. Those of us that are focusing on machine learning and AI will have more opportunities. Seriously, the boiler plate stuff will go away. There will still need to be human interaction.
@@AndreyMakarov-i7hno but I can get the SKILLS of a guy with 10 years of experience in one year using AI. The game has changed. You can learn everything and all the important stuff really fast. It’s also a lot faster because you’re spared from a lot of pain from learning the hard way of debugging because you already have better practices with new information so you’re better equipped to learn what’s important
@ The last thing everyone expected AI to replace was human brain, yet here we are. Now we just need to develop an AI smart enough, to force robots to do manual labor as well.

AI is so far off replacing programmers, it's not even close. It's a powerful tool that increasing productivity.
It really isn’t.
Don't fall under denial my friend..

Honestly? You should. Or at least change speciality within your university. Maybe to AI development or math.
No. AI isn’t ready for that.
Short answer is yes.
Can AI replace a programmer who creates HIS OWN SOFTWARE (& sells it)?...
